News & Events

Announcing Mudlark’s Fall 2010 Production—s!

Mudlark will be staging two original adaptations in the fall. Andrew and Janna will hold a joint audition in September. Stay tuned for audition and show dates!

This Is Just to Say

Janna Sobel will direct the first-ever theatrical adaptation of Joyce Sidman’s This Is Just to Say: Poems of Apology and Forgiveness. Using William Carlos Williams’ famous “refrigerator note” poem (I have eaten / the plums / that were in the icebox…) as a template, classmates create heartfelt—or at least candid—apologies to teachers, parents, classmates, crushes, and even pets. Funny, touching, and sometimes tragic, these stories find resolution in the second act, when the addressees respond…

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Andrew Biliter directs and adapts Washington Irving’s classic tale. In the quaint village of Sleepy Hollow, everyone has a ghost story to tell. So when schoolteacher Ichabod Crane comes to town, he does his best to talk sense into the superstitious locals. But logic soon fails him as he falls head over heels for the town beauty—and comes face to face with Sleepy Hollow’s terrifying flesh-and-blood ghost: the Headless Horseman.
